Hi PneumaPilot,
I greatly appreciate the work you put into the nWoD ruleset. It's great looking and quite handy, but there are a few things that could need improvement in my eyes, maybe you agree to one or the other point mentioned here and they might find a way into 0.9X whatsoever.
More than five dots. Some creatures, especially NPCs have abilities that exceed the 5 dot scale, true fae, old vamps, etc. just to name a few. So, although dots are better looking and "in line" with the game layout, it would be better, if the traits were numbers, not dots, in my eyes.
Monsters should have a pregenerated slot that can be freely named for Blood Potency, Gnosis, Wyrd, etc, as well as for the corresponding Blood / Glamour / Mana etc. points and for how many can be used per turn. As for now one would have to put it somewhere under abilities, which is somewhat awkward. See next point for a proposal.
Give NPCs an additional submenu "Supernatural Abilites". Here you can put Gnosis and such (as above) as well as Contracts, Disciplines, etc. It would be great if those were bookmarkable (grey box).
Dice rules: I saw a video once that allowed for 9-again, 8-again, rote-action, risk, etc. rolls. Somehow I am to stupid to actually find it within the ruleset. This is not important, but would be a cool feature nonetheless.
Again thanks for your great work!
